Only real difference between 800 and 1066 is the speed that the MEM is rated at being stable for. You can OC 800 mem to 1066, though, but you might have to loosen up the MEM timings. It depends on the quality of the MEM.

Right on the money... But then also you have to look at the voltage that is going into the memory it self. You don't want to try and fry the ram because of tring to get up there on the memory. Thats why whenever I change anything on the memory I use Ultimate Boot Disc's Memtest to make sure the ram is stable. Once through and there isn't any errors then I will boot and try the orthos and a 3dmark 05/06...

what the heck you mean? I rated you.. and give you the same rate now! lol

Thanks man, I feel the same for you. As being a P4 its a great looking for that oc! plus everything else is great for ya! I just can't wait for my new processor or video card!

thanks! Although, that's a mild OC on my P4 currently, but then again, I don't want to run it at 4.6GHz 24/7

I feel ya on getting impatient for new hardware to show up; I orderd a Q6600 CPU, an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi motherboard, and 2GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600 the other day . . . and they just can't show up fast enough

Couple months from now I'll prob be upgrading to a 3870x2, and possibly a couple months after that I'll pick up a second one for quad-fire and a new PSU; until then, the 2 1950s are more than great enough to hold down.

Yeah i know the feeling.. waiting on my tax refund in order to buy my stuff.. just can't think if I want to go q66 or x3220... but i can't wait to see the ocing on that hardware!

10/10 mad props....do you know what i have to push to touch 3ghz?! and u can get netburst stable at 1.4? lucky bastard....

1.4v is nothing, though for me - I've got to bump it to 1.625v in to hit 4.6, though. Stoopid x23 multiplier is what buggars that up :shadedshu I'm still not quite sure how I manage to keep my temps so low for a Prescott, though - 34C idle and about 50C @ 100% load at current clock settings.

I've been starting to bet myself that I can get a q6600 to break 4GHz on air we'll just see if it can be done
